This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

This new type of probe sends DERP packets sized similarly to CallMeMaybe packets
at a rate of 10 packets per second. It records the round-trip times in a Prometheus
histogram. It also keeps track of how many packets are dropped. Packets that fail to
arrive within 5 seconds are considered dropped.

- Wrap each prober function into a probe class that allows associating
metric labels and custom metrics with a given probe;
- Make sure all existing probe classes set a `class` metric label;
- Move bandwidth probe size from being a metric label to a separate
gauge metric; this will make it possible to use it to calculate
average used bandwidth using a PromQL query;
- Also export transfer time for the bandwidth prober (more accurate than
the total probe time, since it excludes connection establishment
time).

prober uses NewRegionClient() to connect to a derper using a faked up
single-node region, but NewRegionClient() fails to connect if there is
no non-STUN only client in the region. Set the STUN only flag to false
before we call NewRegionClient() so we can monitor nodes marked as
STUN only in the default derpmap.

On some platforms (notably macOS and iOS) we look up the default
interface to bind outgoing connections to. This is both duplicated
work and results in logspam when the default interface is not available
(i.e. when a phone has no connectivity, we log an error and thus cause
more things that we will try to upload and fail).
Fixed by passing around a netmon.Monitor to more places, so that we can
use its cached interface state.

`prober.DERP` was created in #5988 based on derpprobe. Having used it
instead of derpprobe for a few months, I think we have enough confidence
that it works and can now migrate derpprobe to use the prober framework
and get rid of code duplication.
A few notable changes in behaviour:
- results of STUN probes over IPv4 and IPv6 are now reported separately;
- TLS probing now includes OCSP verification;
- probe names in the output have changed;
- ability to send Slack notification from the prober has been removed.
Instead, the prober now exports metrics in Expvar (/debug/vars) and
Prometheus (/debug/varz) formats.
